kc-mcp

Offline Knowledge Center tools for coding agents — search, cite, and quiz over lesson notes (MCP-shaped).

Who it's for: Azure AI SAs, platform engineers, and educators who want agents to cite their teaching content.

30-second demo

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
python -m kc_mcp --format text topics
python -m kc_mcp --format text search "key vault managed identity" --top-k 2
python -m kc_mcp --format text quiz MCP
# or CI-equivalent:
make demo

Screenshot-friendly --format text (above) or default JSON. Regenerate the SVG: make demo-assets. Full Loom script + LinkedIn caption: docs/DEMO.md.

Why this exists

Solution Architects teach constantly (reels, labs, ADRs). Agents forget that context unless it is a tool. kc-mcp turns a local teaching corpus into MCP-style tools so Cursor / Claude / custom agents can search with citations, pull clip notes, list topics, and generate offline quizzes — no vector DB bill, no cloud round-trip for the happy path.

Install

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
# optional MCP SDK transport:
pip install -e ".[mcp]"

Or with pipx (once published to PyPI): pipx install kc-mcp — until then use editable install from this repo.

What it is NOT

• Not a production vector database or hosted RAG platform

• Not connected to Instagram, YouTube, or Azure by default

• Not embedding-based (MVP uses keyword / TF-IDF over Markdown)

• No fabricated download / star / production-usage claims — fixtures only

Architecture

Roadmap

• Optional embedding backend behind the same tool schemas

• Ingest real reel transcripts into sample_corpus/

• Richer MCP resources (per-lesson URI)

MCP / Cursor plug-in

Install the optional MCP extra, then point Cursor (or any MCP host) at the stdio server:

pip install -e ".[mcp]"

Example ~/.cursor/mcp.json entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kc-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "kc_mcp.mcp_server"],
      "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/kc-mcp"
    }
  }
}
